There are a lot of places that show what Hit Caps and other skills should be for level 80’s in a raid, but they write it in such a way that it becomes so confusing. This is a simple list of what you should have. Is it in depth and exact? No. It’s meant to give you a simple number to aim for, which is what most players want to know. There are variables that may raise or lower these numbers, but they are simply a standard to work towards. If you achieve the numbers for your class listed here, you will have no problems.
Death Knight:
Hit Rating Cap: 263 (8%) with 3 talent points in Nerves of Cold Steel.
Druid:
Feral: 263 (8%)
Boomkin: 263 with 3 talent points in Improved Faerie Fire.
Hunter:
Hit Rating Cap: 263 (8%)
If you have 3 points in Focus Aim, you only need 165.
Mage:
Hit Rating Cap: 240 (9.15%) with 3 talent points in Arcane Focus.
Paladin:
Retribution: 263 (8%)
Priest:
Shadow: 289 (8%) with 3 talent points in Shadow Focus and 3 talent points in Misery.
Rogue:
Hit Rating Cap: 263 with 5 talent points in Precision.
Shaman:
Hit Rating Cap:
Elemental: 297 (11.32%) This includes 3 talent points in Elemental Precision.
Enhancement: 341 (14%)

Hit Rating: 368 (14%) this is with 3 talent points in Suppression.
Warrior:
Hit Rating Cap:
Arms: 262.32 (8%)

Put 3 talent points into Precision and you only need 163.95.

@sunndendoom you can have 400% hit rating if you want, the cap is the point where having more is useless, stats above are so you won’t miss on raid bosses
